Adorable Little Boy Is Distraught That He's at the Circus Instead of a Broccoli Farm

Generally speaking, there is no word that instills loathing into the hearts of children quite like the word "broccoli" (except, maybe, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts). But for the little boy in the viral video above, the word was clearly filled with magic and promise...followed by bitter disappointment.

The clip shows four-year-old Max stepping out of a car and looking around, eagerly searching for the green stuff. His face drops when his dad tells him that his parents told them they were going to a broccoli farm only to surprise him with a trip to the circus.

"I wanted to go to the broccoli farm!" he whines.

"Max, there's elephants!" his father says, by way of consolation. This does not make him feel better.

Finally, his father assures him that they will go to a broccoli farm soon, but at this point Max is completely in the throes of despair. Here's hoping the little guy finally got his wish!
